PROGNOSIS
The outlook for brain-injured children with a symptomatic diagnosis is not good. These children are generally treated symptomatically.
Historically, as a result of inappropriate treatment, these children have failed to show significant improvement. There is no such disease as
cerebral palsy. You can't catch it. If you have it, you can't give it to anyone else, neither can you get a "shot" that will make it go away. But
because historically, children with this fictitious disease have failed, this fictitious disease is now viewed as an incurable disease. Viewed as
incurable, these unfortunate children are often denied a real opportunity to improve.
Improvement in children with motor problems is often slow and difficult. There are very few "miracles." But given the opportunity (an hour of
therapy twice a week is NOT an opportunity), virtually all of these children can improve, and some can achieve "normal" function.
Opportunity for these children involves intensive treatment. Treatment which, because of it's very intensity, requires the family's involvement.
Many hours per day are needed. Not per week, per day! Hours of specific stimulation.Stimulation which treats the cause, not the symptom.
The problem - as well as the answer lies within the BRAIN.
The NACD Foundation is fortunate in being able to assist families of brain injured children in their efforts to help their children achieve their
potential through individual evaluations, programming, parent education, and research.
